about
The Landseers call themselves a lo-fi supergroup – a trans-Atlantic lo-fi supergroup in fact and one that combines the best of traditions and marries them into a unique, post-punk collaboration.
This lo-fi excellence exists outside of time, the natural child of the electronic ether. Nat, Stefan and Ash didn’t meet over a pint, a cuppa (Stefan is a tea obsessive) or even at somebody else’s gig, but rather through internet radio. By listening to each other’s music, reading about each other and making connections over Twitter and email, the chemistry of Nat Lyon, Pulco and Sweet Benfica began to work and between Connecticut, North Wales and Neath, these three identities connected.
They’re a self-confessed “lo-fi Welsh/ Connecticut Super Group” and aim to be “cute, in a provocative way.” (No, not the Hallmark cards kind of cute, though I’m pretty sure they could manage that too, if they wanted.) And that fits, because keen-witted and ingenious is what they are.
A looping process between the three is their generating plant. “It’s a joy to find an MP3 and a set of instructions waiting for you in your inbox…this kind of collaboration breeds spontaneity…you’re able to cast out a challenge or an idea and see what comes back” says Ashley Cooke (Pulco). The three confirm this as a fast process, with an idea developed or filed. In the bin or on the shelf.
